Version: 4.0.2 Released: 05/05/2021

• Future edits will use semantic versioning (major.minor.patch; e.g. 0.0.0).
• Patches are minor bug fixes, as long as they don't change the expected functionality of existing codes(e.g. 4.0.1).
• Minor modifications, including feature additions and more substantial fixes will go to sub-version (e.g. 4.1.0).
• Major feature change that creates different functionality for existing tools will get a full new version number (e.g. 5.0.0).

GTDef/GTdef/stable will point to the latest stable release. GTDef/GTdef/unstable will point to the current development version.

1. Modern version of Matlab
2. The following toolboxes are required for base operation:
   • Optimization Toolbox
   • Parallel Computing (if you want faster computation using multicore processing)
3. These additional toolboxes and software are needed for Quadtree/InSAR processing:
   • Image Processing Toolbox
   • Mapping Toolbox
   • Signal Processing Toolbox
   • grdwrite2.m from kylebrill @ GitHub

• Keep file paths sensibly short and understandable
• Where feasible, particularly with example problems, use symbolic links to include redundant and large files (e.g. Green's functions)
• Use only standard (non-greek/non-accented characters for file names and variables)
• Do not use spaces in filenames (CamelCaseIsPreferred).
• Always Pull then Push! This will substantially reduce conflict.
